“…Alternatively, having clinical pharmacists to teach medical students is a way of introducing new aspects of applied drug therapy to the students and provides them with practical knowledge on drug-related issues. [ 3 ] Clinical pharmacists are trained as interprofessional, having knowledge on pharmacotherapy and applied drug information as well as clinical practice in the wards, working as a member of the health-care team. They can guide the students through the transition from studying pure pharmacology to writing well-structured prescriptions.…”

Objective:Medical students need proper education in drug prescription. The aim of the present study is to introduce a course that improves the students' prescribing skills and also promotes an interprofessional collaboration between medicine and pharmacy schools.Methods:This study was done in a skill laboratory at the pharmacotherapy department of Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran. The course was an 18-h interactive workshop in 3 days under the supervision of clinical pharmacists. A total of 18 medical students participated in these classes before their internship. Before and after each class, they were given tests and paired t-test was done to compare the marks.Findings:A total of 18 medical students participated in this study. The results showed that the knowledge of the students on pharmacotherapy, drug information, and prescribing skills has been significantly improved at the end of the course.Conclusion:Using clinical pharmacists to the present pharmacotherapy course could be an effective model for medical students to obtain better prescribing skills.

Rickettsial infections are an under-recognized cause of acute, undifferentiated fever in the tropics. In Asia, intensive care unit (ICU) admission rates as high as 21% and case-fatality rates of up to 5% have been reported. This 20-year retrospective audit of children and adults with serologically confirmed scrub typhus or spotted fever group (SFG) infection was performed at a tertiary-referral hospital in tropical Australia. There were 15 paediatric cases during the study period (11 scrub typhus, 3 SFG and 1 undifferentiated). Hypotension [5/15 (33%)], tachycardia [6/15 (40%)] and tachypnoea [6/15 (40%)] were common at presentation. Children were more likely to be hypotensive at admission than adults [5/15 (33%) vs. 5/118 (4%), p = 0.002]. However, no child died or was admitted to ICU, compared with 18/120 (15%) adults who required ICU support during the study period, one of whom died. Paediatric rickettsial infections have a relatively benign clinical course in tropical Australia with serious complications appearing far less frequently than have been reported in the Asian literature.
